Meg
Measurement
has 4 oz. of blue paint, 2.5 oz. of
yellow paint, 3 oz. of green paint, and
1 ½ oz. of orange paint. What is the
total number of oz. of paint?
A. 10.5
B. 10 ½
C. 15 ½
D. 11
Measurement
The
answer is D. 11 oz. If you add
the whole numbers first you get 4 + 3
+ 2 + 1 = 10. Then .5 and ½ are both
halves. Two halves make 1 whole. So,
10 + 1 = 11.

None of the above.
Data Analysis
The
answer is A. 15. If we add up all
the numbers we get 180. Then, if we
divide 180 by 12, we get 15. What

do the ( 3 – 5) first, and that equals
-2. Then we have to multiply 2 ( -2),
which is -4. Finally, we need to add 2.
Our answer is C. -2.
